Frankly speaking, nothing good in this tablet at all. Point by point comments for the specs mentioned above: 1. Android 4.0 (ICS) with support for Google Play. <MA> => This is the minimum expected of an ANDROID tablet. Unfortunately, some tablets do not have access, good that this one has. 2. 7" multi-touch screen with pixel dimensions of 800x480. <MA> => This resolution is hardly sufficient for someone who wants to read the huge study material that Micromax is selling. However, It is fine for playing games and casual browsing. 3. 0.3 mp front camera with video recording. <MA> => Even with 2 mp resolution on a tab, the video chat appears ghostly. I guess, we cannot ask more for a Rs.6K tab. 4. Allwinner A13 chipset, 1 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU with dual Mali-400 GPU <MA> => The 400MHz GPU is good for playing games. CPU? is OK. 5. and 512 MB of RAM. <MA> => This is a real deal breaker for me, as nearly half of this RAM will not be available for the user, as it will be used by the Android for running. At least 1GHz would have been decent. I have read on the Internet many people with 512MB RAM for mid-range mobile phones costing more than Rs.10000 making the phones lag. One needs to have very good device management tools to kill the apps not in use and clear the cache from time to time to keep the available RAM free. 6. 4 GB internal storage, 32 GB microSD card slot. <MA> => 4GB is fine. Larger than this would have been appreciable (but, keep in view of the low price, this is acceptable). One has to buy an external microSD card to carry audio/video/ebooks, etc. The external card slot a huge positive for this. 6. Wi-Fi, USB 2.0 with support for 3G dongles, Bluetooth NOT supported. <MA> => Very much standard in most tablets in this price range. I wonder whether it is standard USB port a miniUSB port. Having both, as in Wammy-7 is beneficial (Wammy-7 is of same price, and hence, comparison with it: http://www.wickedleak.org/tablets-and-e-readers/96-wammy-7-inch-capacitive-android-40.html) 7. 3.5 mm jack, gyroscope. <MA> => Again, very standard. Although, it is most probably gravity sensor and not gyroscope. 8. Supported audio formats: MP3, WMA, MP2, OGG, AAC, M4A, FLAC, APE, 3GP, WAV. Supported video formats: MPEG, H.264, DivX, XviD, RM, RMVB, MKV, WMV, MOV, MP4, AVI, allows 1080p playback. <MA> => Good set of supported formats. 9. 2800 mAh battery. <MA> => This is very poor. We use these 7" tablets due to the portability and like to travel around with them. This poor battery is a real spoiler for the tablet. At least 4000mAH would be decent for longer usage. Furthermore, information on whether the tablet can be upgraded to JellyBean is not available. However, with community support for the Micromax tablets (http://androidnavy.com/install-fun-series-v2-1-custom-rom-firmware-onfor-micromax-funbook-tablet/), one can expect a custom ROM with JB being available sometime in future.

Regarding your point #7. You're right in saying that it's a "g-sensor" and not a gyroscope. A G-sensor is essentially a marketing term for a 2-axis accelerometer that can only determine whether your device is in portrait or landscape mode. More information about the differences between gyroscopes and accelerometers is available here: http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-gyroscope-and-accelerometer/ Here's an excerpt from that article: "The 2 axis accelerometer gives you the direction of gravity on your balancing instrument". In other words, a g-sensor. Costlier gadgets use 3-axis accelerometers to determine the degree of tilt, and the best gadgets (such as gaming controllers) combine this with a true gyroscope to achieve even higher levels of motion and tilt sensing. The error has been corrected. Thanks for pointing it out.

Well, it is better to buy a tablet which has huge support in terms of regular updates of firmware, tips and tricks to mod the tab to get desired performance and yet have it within budget. Googling for Karboon tablet doesn't show very good results and there are a series of issues reported like incompatible google-play apps, poor gaming performance, frequent reboots, etc (http://www.karbonntablet.com/user-complain-of-karbonn-tab/). Yes, what you said about the build quality is true, Karboon has by far the best build among the cheap tablets. Possibly, it is because it is a rip of one of the popular Chinese tablet called Ainol Novo 7 Advanced (http://smartphonegeeks.in/2012/06/karbonn-smart-tab-1-just-rebranded-chineese-tab-ainol-novo7-advanced-ii/) Instead of buying a tablet that rebrands a chinese tablet, better buy the Chinese tablet (www.ainolindia.com). There is a huge community at Slatedroid churning out custom ROMs on regular basis (http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/341-ainol-amlogic-cpu-devices/) and trying to help newbies fix issues. There are ROM developers working to create JellyBean for the Ainol tablet soon. I am not sure whether Karboon will care to update the tabs to JB? Other alternatives could be tablets from Cube, Onda or the recently released Pipo M1 tablet (M1 is the first Chinese tablet with JB). If you have tweaking around or updating the firmware, etc, we are left with options like Samsung Galaxy Tab or Google Nexus or iPad.

A13 does not support HDMI, while A10 had HDMI support. A10 can be overclocked to 1.5GHz and the max that A13 can be overclocked is 1.2GHz (based on info from google-search). Due to this reason, A13 is cheaper than A10. (PS: My reply above did not appear, so, resending). For those interested in buying tablets, here is a very good guide on how to select one: http://www.tabletroms.com/index.php/2011/09/19/tablet-buying-guide/
